by similar action on the part of the
House, and the Congressional usurpa-
ton which began in q spoils fight will
end at time when, under the admins
tratiOn of another party, a successful
effort to make the civil service some
thing more than a party machine is in
progress. 1t will doubtless be urged in
certain quarters that the willingness of
some Republicans to support the re-
peal grows out of hope that in two
years they will control the White
House, and it may then be handy to
have the President unfettered in the
matter of office-giving. When Mr..
Lincoln was inaugurated it took him
about sixty days to clean out every
Democratic ofice-holder in the coun-
try. This great achievement could not
be repeated with the Tesure-of-Ol
act on the books. But fairer men will
give the Republicans who supported
the repeal of a vicious law the
credit for doing so on conviction,
without reference to the party con-
sequences. The action taken is one
over which all good citizens may
congratulate themselves, as it is a step
backward toward that system of con-
stitutional government which was sad

''Don't try to keep your house so clean,''
says a clever writer, ''or else d stepmother
will bring up your children" This simple
but strong prescription of the matter throws
a food of light upon it. 1t intimates that a
hOusekeeper has duties besides keeping
house, and paramount to that one.
a new mode of Smelling corn by passing
stalks and all through an ordinary thresh-
ing machine is said to work most satisfac-
torilv. The Shelled corn is delivered clear
as is other grains, the stalks are broken
and shredded, to the amount of ten acres
per day, and where the crop is good average
the corn may be shelled at a cost of four
cents per bushel.
Nebraska was the pioneer in teaching the
people of the treeiess West a practical les
son in forestry. Her Arbor Day is rapidly
becoming a National custom. Following
Nebraska's lead, hundreds of thousands of
trees are annually planted in various States
in this broad country of ours on Arbor
Days. School children are taught the les
son that waste must be replen.shed or that
want is certain to follow.

AS the long winter evenings are upon us
how much may be done to make home at
tractive. Women who have sons to rear
and dread the demOraliziDp Influences of
bad associates, ought to understand the ma
ture Of young manhood. 1t is excessively
restless. Invent occupations for your sons.
Stimulate their ambitions in worthy direc-
tons. While you make home their delight,
fill them with higher purposes than mere
pleasure. Believe it possible that with ex-
ertion and right means, a mother may have
more control over the destiny Of her boys
than any other influence whatever.
Warm drinks tend to produce milk The
same amount of grain, fed in warm, thin
cruel will produce more milk and butter of
richer quality than when used dry. and
some advocate the steaming of hay and
other food. Cutting food for horses and
cattle is recommended by all who have
tried it, as gTSing an economical control
over the supply, security against waste,
and the facility of mixing different kinds
of food in such proportions as may DE found
best. Corn stalks, coarse hay and straw
may be fed TO great advantage. Corn stalks
well cured are thus made worth as much as
the best hay, and one or two quarts of meal
will make bushel of cut straw equal to
hay. Roots in this case are desirable as IN
appetizer and to prevent constipation, and
may take the place of grain.
